Excuse me but what is the deal with having so much "New Netherland" info at the bottom left? Shouldn't we erase that, it has nothing to do with Wilmington, DE and appears to be there by mistake? (Jschreib 02:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC))
The article for New Amsterdam says the city used to be called Altena, but this article doesn't mention it. What should it be? --Awiseman 14:12, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image
Not trying to be mean, but currently this has one of the worst city photos I've ever seen on Wikipedia. Requesting a Wilmington local go downtown and snap at least an in-focus shot that's not taken from behind a utility pole. --Oakshade 23:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Not a local, but I added a couple of pictures from a recent visit. I replaced the blurry one that was at the top of the page. It's on the commons if needed. Malepheasant 04:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Much improved! Thanks! --Oakshade 00:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notable Persons
Hasn't this gotten out of hand?! Shouldn't the requirements be either born in the city, or lived in the city for more than 15 years. Being born in Talleyville or Brandywine Hundred shouldn't be included, and neither should living here for a year. Thoughts?
- In general agreement, except that born in the city includes most people who were raised in the suburbs, especially until the more recent development of the Christiana Hospital in Newark.
[edit] Neighborhood Links
I removed the link for Christina Landing from the Southbridge neighborhood. All other neighborhood links lead to the actual neighborhood or neighborhood association, while Christina Landing is a portion of the Southbridge neighborhood.--Littledrummrboy 15:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:WilmingtonDEseal.png
Image:WilmingtonDEseal.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Thomas Willington
This town was 1738 named Willington, after Thomas Willington. But he was born 1731. Is that right? User:muellermuh|muellermuh (german user) 9 January 2008
- It's a different Thomas Willing. Probably needs his own Wikipedia article, or else it needs to be delinked. --TrustTruth (talk) 22:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
